Questions and Answers
-
How Does DDS Technology Compare with Traditional Function Generators?
Hantek highlights DDS's high frequency accuracy. The DDS-3005 specifies frequency stability better than 30ppm and ageing of ±1ppm per year, and switches frequency digitally rather than by adjusting analogue circuits.
-
What Software Is Included and Which Operating Systems Are Supported?
The DDS-3005 comes with Windows control software. Hantek lists Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, NT and Me; Windows 10 and 11 are not on Hantek's list. The software provides graphical waveform editing, parameter control and file import and export.
-
Can I Import Waveforms From My Oscilloscope or Other Test Equipment?
Yes. The DDS-3005 accepts CSV files compatible with Tektronix oscilloscopes and ARBExpress software. You can capture waveforms on a compatible oscilloscope and replay them through the DDS-3005 for stimulus-response testing. -
What Digital I/O Is Available for System Integration?
The DDS-3005 has 8-bit digital I/O, plus a synchronisation signal output and an external trigger input. All digital signals use 3V/5V TTL/CMOS levels for compatibility with standard logic systems. -
How Does the DDS-3005 Compare with Higher-End Arbitrary Waveform Generators?
The DDS-3005 covers applications up to 5MHz, with 14-bit resolution and a built-in frequency counter. For higher frequencies or more complex arbitrary waveforms, see our Arbitrary Waveform Generators.
-
What Waveforms Can the DDS-3005 Generate?
The DDS-3005 generates these standard waveforms:
- sine, square, triangle and sawtooth
- TTL
- white noise and Gaussian noise
- trapezoid and exponential
- AM and FM
It also supports arbitrary waveforms created in the included software or imported from CSV files compatible with Tektronix formats.
-
Does the DDS-3005 Need External Power or Calibration?
No. It's powered over USB, needs no external supply and includes automatic calibration, so it's ready to use once connected to a PC.
-
What Frequency Ranges Do the Counter Inputs Cover?
Channel 1 measures DC to 25MHz with AC/DC coupling and 50kΩ input impedance, at 400mVpp to 25Vpp. Channel 2 measures 25MHz to 2.7GHz with AC coupling and 50Ω impedance; Hantek's product page gives the same input level, while its manual states ±20dBm.
-
Can I Control the DDS-3005 From My Own Software?
Yes. The DDS-3005 includes APIs for second development with LabVIEW, VB, VC, Delphi and C++ Builder, so you can integrate it into automated test systems and custom measurement applications. -
What Are the Output Impedance and Maximum Voltage?
Output impedance is 50Ω, with ±10V maximum amplitude and 50mA output current (100mA peak). The output has programmable low-pass filters at 1kHz, 10kHz, 100kHz, 1MHz and 5MHz.
